Interview With Ray Hatoyama: Past Participant of the International Directors Programme

Ray Hatoyama

Managing Director at Sanrio Co. Ltd and CEO of Sanrio Media & Pictures Entertainment

Corporate governance is a nascent practice in Japan. I believe its development will benefit many Japanese people as they, and boards, tend to have a closed mindset. Coming to the International Directors Programme helps give you a broader outlook. It teaches you about the different corporate governance practices that exist around the world and it gives you the contexts in which boards operate in other countries. You can then take these learnings and apply in them in your company and on your board. That means the International Directors Programme is good for Japanese society!
